  The minaret has five storeys and its architecture seems different and distinct from the other floors. This is because the minaret was constructed by three different rulers of the Delhi Sultanate.
  
  While its base was constructed by Qutub-ud-Din Aibak, it was his successor and son-in-law, Iltutmish who further added three storeys to the minaret. The finishing of the minaret and the last two storeys were added by Firoz Shah Tuglak.
